Look above Davante's left shoulder, over the Louisville score.

Normally you end sentences with only one form of punctuation.  Not a combination of ? and !

How do you know what warriorchick normally does?  Also, "seriously" is not a sentence; it is an interjection.

A question mark does not always adequately convey the voice of the writer.  Doubling up on punctuation to convey voice has always been a faux-pas, so the interrobang was created!

To quote the classic "Schoolhouse Rock":

"Interjection
Shows excitement and emotion
It's generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a commoa when the feeling's not as strong."


Ridicule my punctuation if you want, but unlike most blog posters, at least I know that "it's" is not a possessive pronoun.  It means "it is" and nothing else.  I also know the proper uses of "their", they're" and "there".  Not too shabby for a biz adder.

This is a forum.  http://www.CrackedSidewalks.com is a blog.

I thought that was Dayton, not Providents.

No, that is the Deighton Fliers, this is the Providents Fryers.    Duh.

You ever think maybe us mods just do things sometimes to see if if anyone would notice?  ;)

That's all fine and good until a Badger forum links to it to prove that Marquette grads are illiterate.   ;)

Good think if BadgerNation links this forum, they can review our comments as well and see it was done intentionally eh?

On a side note, I really don't give a F' about a Badger Student/Alums opinion.

You need a . after grads to show it is an abbreviation.  Otherwise grad is 1/100 of a right angle.

About that 1/100 of a right angle - is that a Wisconsin grad or a Marquette grad?

Hey!  I was sticking up for you with Warriors10.  It was he who implied that "seriously" was a sentence.

One who posts on an internet forum should be well-versed in the difference between obvious errors in spelling and "creative use of the keyboard."

O'Tule - wrong
Pwnd - l33t
Teal - sarcasm
Providents - kewl
